Spritzer, that's a very good heads up. Anyone just expressing interest because this thread caught their eye could study up a little to see if the project fits with their comfort level and their wallet. The sand package is still easily obtainable except for the 2SK389 but matched singles are a good substitution. It probably has the most expensive semiconductor project BOM there is, easily $300 for just the sand with a few spares + matching. Tubes and transformer add more $$$ .

About a 1 1/2 year ago I contemplated and then rejected a P2P attempt. I got on the BHSE wait instead, but I'm still interested in the project. If a group buy run of boards comes off, I'd definitely like to be in for a set. Hope this happens, but it would be understandable if it doesn't.
